Challenges for Prayer

The strong Christian legacyof over 150 years  bordering on theocracy on some islands  is fading rapidly. Increasing numbers are nominal or even non-religious, and Mormons and Jehovahs Witnesses are the fastest growing groups. Pray for reversal of these trends and for new life to come to the mainline Churches.

Many smaller islands have no known evangelical witness.There are evangelicals in several Pentecostal and Independent churches and small groups within the older churches.YWAMs new base in Rarotonga could be instrumental in rejuvenating the churches of the Cook Islands and beyond. Pray for an outpouring that would see older churches revived, new churches planted and every island with the presence of active believers.
